What We Do

Days of Greatness

The Nathan Chris Baker Foundation introduced our Days of Greatness program in 2014. This project coincides with our foundation’s mission of supporting families in need with both financial and emotional support. Through Days of Greatness it is the Nathan Chris Baker Foundation’s hope that families in need will be able to put their troubles aside and enjoy each other more, cherish special time together and make lasting memories.

The Nathan Chris Baker Foundation needs your help in identifying those prospective families who will benefit from Days of Greatness. If you know of an individual or family who is struggling, we ask that you contact us at at
GoOutBeGreat@nathanchrisbaker.com or complete our online application below. Through the information that you provide we may be able to give a family a Day of Greatness. Together, we can make the lives of others special one day at a time.

We will be looking for individuals and families residing primarily in Maryland and surrounding areas.

Go Out. Be Great.

Please take a look at the frequently-asked-questions below before filling out an application.

Frequently-Asked-Questions

Who can receive Days of Greatness?

Currently, an individual or family who is struggling is a prospective candidate of the Days of Greatness program through the Nathan Chris Baker Foundation. Struggling for us is not based on one identified area, such as an illness or loss, but includes anything that inhibits a person or family from enjoying life to its fullest on a daily basis. As is the vision of the Nathan Chris Baker Foundation, it is our goal to help provide individuals and families in need with the support necessary to Go Out and Be Great.

No, an illness does not need to be considered terminal.

Can a person receive more than one Day of Greatness?

Days of Greatness hopes to extend special days to many people. As such, currently the program seeks to provide one Day of Greatness to each selected individual or family.

Are there any restrictions to Days of Greatness?

The Days of Greatness team will work closely with the individual or family in order to provide a Day of Greatness that will be meaningful and memorable.

What are NCB’s sources of funding?

Days of Greatness is a project sponsored by the Nathan Chris Baker Foundation. We receive financial support from a number of sources. Contributions come from individuals, corporations, and private and foundation grants. The Nathan Chris Baker Foundation relies also on in-kind contributions which help to lessen the cost of goods and services. Throughout the year the Nathan Chris Baker Foundation conducts fundraising events which helps raise funds while putting us in a position to interact closely with the community we are trying to help.

How does NCB decide who will receive a Day of Greatness?

Currently, we are hoping to grant four special days a year and adopt a family at Christmas. Our board is committed to the program and will put a great amount of effort in determining the recipients of the Days of Greatness. As our program grows, we look forward to expanding the number of special days per year as well as increasing the geographical area in which we offer the program.
